Two-stage examinations: Can examinations be more formative experiences? - 1 views

  •  
    "Two-stage examinations consist of a first stage in which students work individually as they typically do in examinations (stage 1), followed by a second stage in which they work in groups to complete another examination (stage 2), which typically consists of a subset of the questions from the first examination." Q: What are ways to successfully apply this strategy in online courses?

Pinch Hitter: The Effectiveness of Content Summaries Delivered by a Guest Lecturer in O... - 3 views

  •  
    Key finding: "Our data suggest that inserting short summaries into existing course videos is a simple and facile way to improve student recall of course contents." Thirty-second lecture summaries at the midpoint and end of lecture videos were correlated with significantly better learner performance on related quizzes. This was true if the lecture summary was delivered by the course instructor but not if it was delivered by a "guest." (Note: The average video length was approx. 10 minutes.)

Faculty members' motivation for teaching and best practices - 3 views

  •  
    Excerpt: "faculty autonomy, competence, and relatedness positively predicted autonomous motivation (intrinsic, identified), but not controlled motivation (introjected, external). Autonomous motivation, in turn, predicted greater incorporation of effective teaching strategies, namely instructional clarity, higher-order learning, reflective and integrative learning, and collaborative learning."

Measuring actual learning versus feeling of learning in response to being actively enga... - 3 views

  •  
    Very interesting, sound study. Even though this is done in a face to face environment, the takeaway most likely remains the same - students don't know what effective teaching looks and feels like. Quote: "Compared with students in traditional lectures, students in active classes perceived that they learned less, while in reality they learned more."
